Question

The atoms that constitute your body are mostly empty space, and structures such as the chair you're sitting on are composed of atoms that are also mostly empty space. So why don't you fall through the chair

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

As we all know that the atom mainly composed of two parts, Nucleus at the center and the electrons dancing around it. And, yes there is a vast distance between nucleus and the electrons and it's about ten billionth of a meter. So the question is if there is such an empty space then why not our body just move through the chair and fall? So the answer is, it's all due to the forces. Just like the cracking of lightning through the void, specks of electrons and nuclei are constantly interacting through the force called electromagnetic forces. During each interaction there is an exchange of energy particles called photons. So the each photon swapped is equals to the push or pull or the forces exerted across the emptiness. So these forces enable us to sit on chair or to do other things.
